Ballistic materials

The outer secondary tent is made of Kevlar or another ballistic material and is supported by an air-rib system. It is placed over the primary tent to provide vapor containment of chemical agent and is connected with flexible stainless steel hoses to the air pollution control system. A slight negative pressure is maintained within the secondary tent prior to detonation of the chemical munition. 

The inner primary tent, constructed of a ballistic material designed to contain blast overpressure and fragments from...

Bullet-proof vests are typically made from multiple layers of ballistic material assembled into a protective panel which is then inserted into a carrier made of conventional fabric such as nylon or cotton (Cichocka et al, 2009 Maillet et ai, 2009), The protective panel may be permanently sewn into the c arrier or it may be removable. Although the finished product looks relatively simple in construction, the protective panel is very complex. 

A ballistic panel can be made from a single ballistic material or from two or more materials in combination. Where more than one ballistic fibre is used, the vest is often referred to as a hybrid . The location and number of layers of each material within the multiple-layer protective panel ate critical to the overall performance of the panel. If a manufacturer uses insufficient ballistic material, the body armour will offer insufficient protection. It is thus indispensable that sufficient material and a suitable margin of safety be incorporated into well-designed, properly manufactured body armour (McConnell, 2006). 

Ballistic materials have been designed to ensure protection against bullet or artillery impact there are some commercial examples of such materials that use natural latex rubber [110], with recycled rubber as the main component to obtain highly dense and durable blocks and panels [111] or tire recycled rubber [112,113]. Other producers are Cumberland Rubber Supply [114], which offers materials with high strength, elasticity, and durability BRICO Black Iron Rubber Company [115] Super Trap [116] and Rubber Sheet Roll [117].
